Inside the submarine they find a body - and a puzzling, incredibly rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar'. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure. One that Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from treasure's one-time owner. It will be his, no matter who stands in his way . . . Clive Cussler, author of the celebrated Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Crescent Dawn, presents his newest series, following the adventures of treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo - beginning with Spartan Gold.

Book Synopsis The Legend of Gold and Other Stories by : Jun Ishikawa
Download or read book The Legend of Gold and Other Stories written by Jun Ishikawa and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four stories and novella translated in this volume represent the best short fiction by Ishikawa Jun (1899-1987), one of the most important modernist writers to appear on the Japanese literary stage during the years before and after World War II. Throughout his career, Ishikawa resisted the tide of popular opinion to address issues of political and artistic significance and thereby paved the way for a generation of Japanese internationalists and experimentalists, including Abe Kobo and Oe Kenzaburo. Highly acclaimed and respected in Japan, Ishikawa remains little known in the West-in part because of the tendency of Western critics and readers of Japanese literature to focus on writers concerned with aesthetic issues. Combining a strong interest in politics with a brilliant use of modernist techniques, Ishikawa's work defies easy categorization. Banned in 1938, "Mars' Song" has been called the finest example of anti-war fiction written during Japan's march to war in China and the Pacific. In it Ishikawa denounces the chorus of jingoism that swept Japan, and via a metafictional tale within a tale, he warns against the suicidal destruction to which complicity in warmongering will lead. The allegorical "Moon Gems," written in the spring of 1945, further explores the tenuous position of the writer moving against the current in a country not only still at war but very near defeat. In "The Legend of Gold" and "The Jesus of the Ruins," both from 1946, Japan has been reduced to a charred wasteland yet Ishikawa envisions destruction as fertile ground for rebirth and resurrection. Finally, the semi-surrealistic novella The Raptor plumbs the meanings and possibilities of peace in the post-Occupation era. William Tyler's eminently readable translations are faithfully expressive of stylistic and tonal nuances in the original works. In a perceptive introduction and the critical essays that follow, Tyler emphasizes Ishikawa's importance as an anti-establishment--even "resistance"--writer and argues that the writer's political iconoclasm goes hand-in-hand with the modanizumu of his literary experimentation. The Legend of Gold will be of tremendous importance in enlarging a Western understanding of the development of the writer's role as social critic and the evolution of the modernist movement in postwar Japan.

Book Synopsis Billy Cannon by : Charles N. deGravelles
Download or read book Billy Cannon written by Charles N. deGravelles and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Cannon’s name, his image, and his remarkable athletic career serve as emblems for Louisiana State University, the Southeastern Conference, and college football. LSU’s only Heisman Trophy winner, Cannon led the Tigers to a national championship in 1958, igniting a love of the game in Louisiana and establishing a tradition of greatness at LSU. But like many stories of lionized athletes who rise to the status of legend, there was a fall—and in the case of Billy Cannon, also redemption. For the first time, Charles N. deGravelles reveals in full the thrilling highs and unexpected lows of Cannon’s life, in Billy Cannon: A Long, Long Run. Through conversations with Cannon, deGravelles follows the athlete-turned-reformer from his boyhood in a working-class Baton Rouge neighborhood to his sudden rush of fame as the leading high school running back in the country. Personal and previously unpublished stories about Cannon’s glory days at LSU and his stellar but controversial career in the pros, as well as details of his indictment for counterfeiting and his post-release work as staff dentist at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, unfold in a riveting biography characterized by uncanny success, deep internal struggles, and a champion’s spirit that pushed through it all.

Book Synopsis Two Gold Rings and the Legend of Tall Tree by : Thomas D. Payne
Download or read book Two Gold Rings and the Legend of Tall Tree written by Thomas D. Payne and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1770, twenty-year-old Jacob Harris was called before the king, who knew of his great desire to go to the New World across the ocean. In respect for the dedicated service of Jacob’s father and grandfather to the Crown, the king presented him with a land grant of ten thousand acres, boat passage, and enough gold coins to start a new life in the new land. Jacob fell to his knees upon seeing for the first time the magnificent virgin trees and giving the name of Tall Tree to the vast acreage. He spent twenty years carving out many acres to plant and acres for grazing and built a large brick house before marrying Ruth, now thirty years old, whom he first met on the boat as a shy ten-year-old. A little girl at the time, telling her mother she just met the only man she would ever consider marrying someday. Several years after their marriage, they had one son, William. Jacob—even though he purchased slaves to help him and three other white men to clear the land—never treated them as slaves, taking time to educate them to do things and think on their own. William, who later inherited the land, followed and improved on his father’s ideas in the treatment of the black people. As a young boy, he forged a bond of great friendship with another young boy at the time. A boy of the black race who, by a quirk of nature, grew to a gigantic size. A sad time in the period of the Civil War, fate brought with her a heavy hand full of tragedies to dump on the beautiful grounds of Tall Tree and its inhabitants. The many tragedies that seemed to be unfair in its great toll on the Harris family. One was to cause the disappearance of two special gold rings, to finally return home from their travels in 1945, and to try once again to bring about the happiness they were forged to do eighty-one years ago.
